What kind of music do you like?

Re: Music

The notorious B.I.G and tupac shakur are the greatest rappers of all time. unfortunately, they were both the victims of a mid 90's rap war that got them both killed. other great rappers include LL cool j,Nas, Jay-z, P. diddt, Dr. dre, and snoop dogg. KANYE WEST!!!

rapping is not as easy as it looks. lyricing must be learned from very young, and rapping on beat is somewhat hard to do. producing lyrics for whole songs is very hard, especially when they have to rhyme. on the other hand, anyone can learn how to play guitar and sing.

a very entertaining article about In da Club

i have like 30-50 songs from rammstein, TATU the only song i have it "All about us"... i been searching forever for their songs i cant find any!!!

The main thing in a rap is a text, instead of music. All sense that rappers sing.
Many rappers in Russia oppose racism. Rappers in Russia it is unique force capable to resist to nazis on the street.

Re: Music

Oops...my mistake
i forgot to post a link with my last post:


an article about in da club. the song is the most listened to song in history on the radio.

50 cent has followed with hit singles after In da club, like candy shop, just a lil bit, and outta control remix

Re: Music

even if it's just radio, it would not be the most listened song.. most chinese people in china have radios by now.. let's just say it's 1 billion people. then march of the volunteers would be the most listened to song by radio!!!. wikipedia is something anyone can edit.. so if it says one of the most listened to song on radio.. the writer is probably a 50 cent fan, therefore trying to exagerate how good the song is, and also is probably saying most listened to song in USA.

Re: Music

I got my info from MTV, highly credible in terms of music
these say the same thing



most people think the rap world is down and dirty, with nothing credible.
its not true.

the march of the vlounteers is not over played on chinese radio. the radios actually play music and real news now, not just propaganda stuff. i dont think the average chinese will want to listen to it when they can listen to "tie my shoe" rap in chinese.

Re: Music

In Russia all known rappers against racism.
In Russia now it is a lot of nazis and they beat all who listens to "black" music, but rappers do not surrender.

I do not listen TATU and rammstein, but I have their songs.

By the way, here the reference to Russian rap

I like all sorts of music. Mostly rock, especially classic rock, like Led Zepplin, AC/DC, the Doors (which I am listening to right now), Pink Floyd, Van Halen, the Clash. As for newer music, I like Nirvana, Rage against the Machine, the Offspring (all of which are actually pretty old), the Hives, the White Stripes, Audioslave, Flogging Molly, Drop Kick Murphy(yeah for Celtic punk rock). I like reggae too, especially Bob Marley (of course), and Matisyahu. I don't like rap that much, although I occasionally listen to old school rap, like NWA and the Beastie Boys.

In China, are you allowed to listen to any music you want to, or is that still kind of restricted? Do they even sell it? (Like if it was legal but you couldn't buy it any where. I guess that doesn't matter because of the Internet.)

No, actually, you can listen to anything in China. Counterfeit copies of music/movies are everywhere in China. I used to buy those by the boatloads when I went back to visit, but not anymore.

Anyhow, people in China listen to mostly Chinese pop.

I personally like pretty main stream stuff. I watch reality shows like American Idol and Rockstar INXS, so a lot of my favourite stuff comes from there. My favourite current male artists are Usher and Josh Groban. My favourite current femal artists are Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson. For my all time favourites, I'd say Mariah Carey, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder and Sarah Brightman. I guess that would be a lot of soul, RnB and some broadway turned pop stuff.

I listen to mostly Hip Hop; West Coast Hip Hop. Among my favorite artists are Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, and Enimen. Also, I enjoy the older works of Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre, like "The Chronic" and "Doggystyle".

Bach, Vivaldi, and Ravel (just Bolero, really).

I also like opera, namely Handel's work.
